Help with tracing a family, probably in Australia
I'm just trying to tidy up some lose ends.
I have George Alfred Buck marrying Eliza Martha Williams in London in 1855. I have details of their first three children from the GRO, LMA baptisms and 1861 census: Edith Ada b 27 Jun 1856 in Pancras District Charles Martin b 5 Jan 1858 in St Geo Hanover Sq district Richard Montague Buck b 19 Sept 1860 in New Zealand On the 1861 census the family are on a boat/ship called "Hound" which was at sea on the night of 7 April. They were in the UK for the baptism of Richard Montague Buck on 21 July 1861 in Ealing. After this I lose track of the family until the parents die in NSW Australia (Eliza Martha in 1895 and George Alfred in 1900. I'm trying to discover in which country/countries the rest of their children (listed below) were born and, in the case of George Henry and Marjorie, where they died?(apparently not in NSW): George Henry Buck b 31-Oct-1862 d aged 10 Mary Cornelia Buck b 10-May-1864 d 22-May-1893 Horace Buck b 7-Aug-1865 Marjorie Buck b 1873 d 1874 There's a Mary Florence Cornelia Buck b 1864 (but Q1 not Q2) in Staines district who I can't yet eliminate. Also a Horace Walter Buck in the correct Q of 1865 in Pancras district, but I can't find a baptism for him. The only other clue is on the GRO entry for the parents marriage, George Alfred's forenames are recorded as Alfred George. I'm not very practiced at Australian research and also don't have any worldwide subs so could do with some help

On goggling Richard Montague Buck I see there are some refs to his death in 1892 in Nelson Australia which I think is in Victoria. I can't get on with the Victorian GRO site

I did try to find Richard's death on the Victoria site without any success.

Ah, thanks Janet! I had read that before but had forgotten all about it and never saved it, so I will this time.
Apart from anything else () it tells me of an older and younger sister, suggesting Edith A and Mary C were the sisters in question. I note Richard was stated to be 17 when he was actually 21!!! lol

I can't find a Richard Buck death on Victoria BDM, nor on the New Zealand BMD site.
The 1881-2 electoral register for St Albans, Canterbury, New Zealand, lists Charles Martin Buck, George Alfred Buck and Richard Montague Buck all clerks, all at Aikman's Road. |

Mary's name on her grave is Mary Florence Corne Buck, according to Find a Grave.

New Zealand BDM has the birth of an Annie Beatrice Buck in 1879, parents George Alfred and Eliza Martha.

New Zealand BDM also has the death of George Henry Buck in 1872, age 10.

The Australian Marriage Index on ancestry has Richd Montague Buck marrying a Roberta Frances Morrisby in Victoria in 1892. But they seem to have some of the given names on that index in the wrong order, so her name could be Frances Roberta.
Anyway, their NSW Index to Deceased Estate Files has Frances Roberta Buck, widow, residence Mosman, date of death 13/10/1938. She is also listed on their Australian Death Index for 1938, Mosman NSW, parents Charles and Anne. |
